Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling a driving dynamics control device and to a driving dynamics control device.
  • ESP systems systems for an electronic stability control
  • the active displacement or supply of brake fluid for an active pressure buildup in the brake fluid or for an evacuation of a low-pressure accumulator chamber for the brake fluid is carried out with the aid of an electrically operated return pump.
  • the requirement for the high-pressure configuration point results from the maximum system pressure at which an ABS control should be possible, from the eccentricity of the eccentric bearing and also from the surface of a pump element.
  • the required starting torque i.e., the required minimum torque for the run-up of the motor, depends on the position of the pump element or pump elements, and thus on the position of the rotor relative to the stator.
  • the configuration point or the electric motor must be designed so that the electric motor starts up even at a maximum sum of the torques at the pump elements. Therefore, the electric motor must be configured with a rotational speed/torque characteristic curve required for this purpose. The electric motor is consequently quite large or very powerful, and thus expensive.
  • Embodiments of the present invention may advantageously make it possible to provide a method for controlling a driving dynamics control device, or to provide a driving dynamics control device by which or in which a start-up of an electric motor is ensured at all times even when an electric motor is used that is not very powerful.
  • the driving dynamics control device has a pump, which includes at least two pump elements for the supply of brake fluid, and an electric motor, which includes a rotor and a stator for driving the pump elements, the example method having the following steps: detecting the position of the rotor relative to the stator; and adjusting an ideal position of the rotor relative to the stator, the sum of the torques for moving the pump elements lying below a predefined torque limit value, in particular being minimal, in the ideal position.
  • the electric motor generally has to have only low power. Because the rotor, and thus the pump elements, is/are easily movable when the rotor is in the ideal position, or in other words, a low torque is required to move the pump elements, the electric motor is usually easy to start up at all times.
  • the high pressure configuration point i.e., a point in the rotational speed/torque characteristic curve at which the electrically driven pump has to start up against very high pressures or system pressures of the brake fluid (e.g., in the ABS functionality), may thus be generally low.
  • the electric motor, and consequently the driving dynamics control device is thus typically able to be developed in a technically uncomplicated and economical as well as a compact manner.
  • Another advantage is that the electric motor starts up very quickly as a rule and brake fluid is consequently able to be supplied very rapidly by the pump.
  • a driving dynamics control device for influencing the braking of wheels of a motor vehicle
  • the driving dynamics control device including the following: a pump having at least two pump elements for the supply of brake fluid, and an electric motor including a rotor and a stator for driving the pump elements, characterized by a position detection device for detecting the position of the rotor relative to the stator, and a control device for adjusting the position of the rotor relative to the stator to an ideal position, the sum of the torques for moving the pump elements lying below a predefined torque limit value, in particular being minimal, in the ideal position.
  • this driving dynamics control device typically has to have only low power. Since the rotor and thus the pump elements is/are easily movable when the rotor is in the ideal position and a low torque is therefore required to move the pump elements, the electric motor of the driving dynamics control device is usually easy to start up at all times. As a result, the high pressure configuration point of the driving dynamics control device may generally be low, that is to say, a point in the rotational speed/torque characteristics curve at which the electrically driven pump has to start up against very high pressures or system pressures of the brake fluid (e.g., in the ABS functionality).
  • the electric motor, and consequently the driving dynamics control device are generally able to have a technically simple and economical as well as compact design.
  • An additional advantage is that the electric motor normally starts up very quickly and the pump is therefore able to supply brake fluid in a very rapid manner.
  • the rotor Because the rotor position relative to the stator is detected, the rotor is typically able to be stopped in an ideal position or be moved to an ideal position in a technically uncomplicated manner.
  • Embodiments and variants regarding specific embodiments of the present invention may be considered to be based on the thoughts and recognitions described herein, among other things.
  • the ideal position is determined by generating a predefined counterpressure against the supply of the brake fluid with the aid of the pump, and detecting the current of the electric motor required to supply the brake fluid against the generated counterpressure by the pump elements; the particular position of the rotor relative to the stator in which the required current for the electric motor lies below a predefined current value, in particular is minimal, being determined as the ideal position.
  • the ideal position is usually able to be determined in a rapid and technically simple manner. For example, this may be done during the final assembly of the driving dynamics control device. It is also possible that this takes place during the final assembly of the motor vehicle.
  • the rotor is adjusted after each movement of the electric motor such that the rotor is situated in the ideal position. This typically ensures that the electric motor is able to start up at all times and the pump is able to supply brake fluid.
  • the rotor in the method, is moved to the ideal position when the electric motor fails to move despite a start signal for starting the movement of the electric motor.
  • this offers the advantage that the rotor will not be moved to the ideal position after every stop of the electric motor, which may cause increased wear, etc., but instead is moved to the ideal position only when this becomes necessary, i.e., when the electric motor does not start up despite the start signal.
  • the energy consumption then is usually lower as a result.
  • the electric motor is moved counter to the normal running direction of the electric motor in order to move the rotor to the ideal position. This makes it possible to move the rotor to the ideal position in a generally technically uncomplicated and rapid manner and with a low energy consumption.
  • the sum of the torques for moving the pump elements essentially amounts to zero in the ideal position. This offers the advantage that the electric motor usually starts up especially quickly and the pump supplies brake fluid in a particularly rapid manner.
  • the pump elements supply brake fluid in alternation.
  • this makes it possible to supply the brake fluid in a technically simple and reliable manner while the torques for moving the pump elements can be kept low at the same time.
  • the rotor in the method, is adjusted to the ideal position when a counterpressure against the supply of the brake fluid is detected that lies above a predefined pressure value, in particular because the brake pedal has been depressed.
  • a counterpressure against the supply of the brake fluid is detected that lies above a predefined pressure value, in particular because the brake pedal has been depressed.
  • the rotor is adjusted to the ideal position, i.e., stopped in the ideal position or moved to the ideal position, after the motor has stopped moving only when it has to be assumed that the pump must supply brake fluid or has to start up against a high pressure, which means that the sum of the torques required to move the pump elements is likely going to be high, with the possible result that the electric motor may be difficult or slow to start up.
  • the counterpressure in order for the rotor to be adjusted to the ideal position, the counterpressure must lie above the predefined pressure value multiple times, in particular at least three times, within a predefined time period and/or for a time period that is longer than a predefined time period.
  • the rotor in the method, is adjusted to the ideal position when the fill level of a reservoir from which the pump supplies the brake fluid exceeds a predefined fill level limit value, in particular 80% of the maximum fill level, preferably 90% of the maximum fill level.
  • a predefined fill level limit value in particular 80% of the maximum fill level, preferably 90% of the maximum fill level.
  • a portion of the brake fluid is usually supplied into a reservoir in order to achieve a pressure reduction.
  • the rotor is normally moved to the ideal position only if it is assumed that the reservoir will soon approach the maximum fill level or would reach the maximum fill level, or will do so during one of the next times when the ABS functionality is used.
  • an unnecessary adjustment or movement of the rotor in the ideal position or to the ideal position thus takes place even more rarely.
  • Adjusting the rotor to the ideal position may particularly mean that the rotor, if it was moved in order to supply brake fluid, is stopped in the ideal position at the end of its movement (e.g., when the movement subsides after the supply operation) and/or that the rotor, if it has concluded its movement in a position that is not the ideal position relative to the stator, is actively moved to the ideal position by the electric motor.
  • the position of the pump elements is typically directly related to the position of the rotor relative to the stator. This means that the pump elements are always situated in the same position again when the rotor is situated at or in the same position relative to the stator.
  • That a value is “minimal” may particularly mean that the value has a local minimum or a global minimum.
  • the torque limit value may amount to 0.03 Nm or 0.01 Nm.
  • the torque limit value may depend on the used supply unit, in particular the pump surface or the eccenter.

  • a pump element 22 has a negative torque.
  • the pistons may assume different distances from an underside of pump 20 .
  • Pump 20 must especially supply the brake fluid in opposition to an existing counterpressure such as when the driver is operating brake pedal 60 . For example, by pressing brake pedal 60 , the driver is able to generate a pressure of approximately 200 bar or of approximately 280 bar. Pump 20 must be capable of supplying brake fluid against this pressure.
  • Driving dynamics control device 10 includes a position detection device 55 .
  • Position detection device 55 detects the position of the rotor relative to the stator, i.e., the particular angle of the rotor relative to the stator. This is illustrated in FIG. 3 . However, it is also possible that only the position of a pump element 22 , 23 is detected because the position of the rotor relative to the stator is unequivocally able to be ascertained in this way since electric motor 30 is connected to pump elements 22 , 23 . For each angle illustrated in FIG. 3 , the positions of pump elements 22 , 23 shown in FIG. 5 are fixedly defined.
  • Electric motor 30 is stationary for part of the time, or in other words, pump 20 is not operated during this time and pump elements 22 , 23 stand still or are situated in the neutral state. If pump 20 is now meant to begin supplying brake fluid, electric motor 30 has to generate a torque that is acting on pump elements 22 , 23 in an effort to bring them out of the standstill or neutral state and induce them to move.
  • the rotor When the operation of electric motor 30 is concluded, the rotor is able to be moved to the ideal position or moved to one of the ideal positions so that only a very low torque is required to start up electric motor 30 or pump 20 and to supply the brake fluid, as is required at instant 0.105 s in FIG. 4 , for example.
  • the rotor is at an angle of approximately 180° (see FIG. 3 )
  • only a low torque is required to start the supply of the brake fluid with the aid of pump 20 .
  • the minima in FIG. 4 are found at the instants at which the lines of the two torques of pump elements 22 , 23 intersect.
  • the rotor may be moved to the ideal position by moving electric motor 30 counter to the normal running direction.
  • the normal running direction is the direction in which pump 20 supplies brake fluid in the direction of brake pedal 60 .
  • the movement of the rotor is stopped at an instant at which the rotor is in its ideal position. This means that the motor is stopped in one of the ideal positions after the rotor has slowed to a standstill after the operation of electric motor 30 or pump 20 .
  • the ideal position may also include multiple ideal positions, which means that there may be multiple positions of the rotor relative to the stator in which the sum of the torques lies below the torque limit value or in which a minimum of the sum of the torques is present, as illustrated in FIG. 4 .
  • the rotor it is possible to move the rotor to the ideal position only if a (counter) pressure above a minimum pressure value was generated with the aid of brake pedal 60 , or is present. For instance, the rotor is moved to the ideal position only when the driver exerts pressure on brake pedal 60 to such an extent that a pressure of more than 150 bar or more than 200 bar is generated in the brake fluid or in the vicinity of brake pedal 60 . Since a greater torque may be required here to move the rotor out of the neutral position or to move pump elements 22 , 23 out of the neutral position or out of a standstill, the rotor is moved to the ideal position or to one of the ideal positions.
  • pump elements 22 , 23 move along in a corresponding manner because a rigid or fixed relationship exists between the position of the rotor relative to the stator and the position of pump elements 22 , 23 , as may be gathered from FIG. 3 in conjunction with FIG. 6 .
  • the existing counterpressure exceed the minimum pressure value for a certain period of time or that the existing counterpressure exceed it multiple times within a certain period of time, e.g., at least two or three times. Only when this additional condition has been satisfied will the rotor be moved to the ideal position or be stopped in the ideal position.
  • the ideal position(s) of the rotor is/are able to be determined by detecting or measuring the current electric motor 30 requires to operate pump 20 or to start up pump 20 . Because a high torque corresponds to a high current consumption of electric motor 30 , a high current consumption means that a high torque or a large sum of the torques is required to move pump elements 22 , 23 . The same applies in reverse to a low torque. As a result, the sum of the torques for pump elements 22 , 23 —the components of the sum being shown in FIG. 4 —exhibits a minimum when the current consumption of electric motor 30 has a minimum. The sum of the torques for pump elements 22 , 23 —the components of the sum being shown in FIG. 4 —exhibits a maximum when the current consumption of electric motor 30 has a maximum. This determination of the ideal positions may be carried out during the final assembly of vehicle dynamics control device 10 and/or the motor vehicle, for example. A calculation of the ideal positions is another option.
  • the ideal position(s), that is to say, the respective position of the rotor relative to the stator in which only a low torque is required to operate pump 20 , is able to be stored in a non-volatile memory in driving dynamics control device 10 or in the motor vehicle or also stored externally from the motor vehicle (such as in a Cloud).
  • Pump 20 may be what is known as a return pump, in particular.
  • the position detection device may be an optical, electronic or mechanical detection device for detecting the angle of the rotor relative to the stator.
  • the electric motor could be a brushless DC motor or could encompass such a motor.
